Quote

You cannot be Christ’s servant if you are not willing to follow him, cross and all. What do you crave? A crown? Then it must be a crown of thorns if you are to be like him. Do you want to be lifted up? So you shall, but it will be upon a cross.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
There is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are all men, feeble, frail, and apt to faint.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's children are God's children anywhere and everywhere, and shall be even unto the end. Nothing can sever that sacred tie, or divide us from his heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!
Charles Spurgeon

If you cut him, (John Bunyan) he'd bleed Scripture!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You cannot have Christ, if you will not serve Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is reason at rest in God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Depend upon it, since Satan could not kill the church by roaring at her like a lion, he is now trying to crush her by hugging her like a bear.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there were no hell, the loss of heaven would be hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We shall not long have love to man if we do not first and chiefly cultivate love to God.

Image
Having made Jesus your all, you shall find your all in Jesus.

Image
Humility makes us ready to be blessed by the God of all grace.

Image
Carve your name on hearts, not on marble
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not humility to underrate yourself. Humility is to think of yourself as God thinks of you. It is to feel that if we have talents God has given them to us. And let it be seen that, like freight in a vessel, they tend to sink us low. The more we have, the lower we ought to lie.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the Lord with all your jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores. He alone can heal, and He delights to do it. It is our Lord's office to bind up the brokenhearted, and He is gloriously at home at it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who boasts of being perfect is perfect in folly. I never saw a perfect man. Every rose has its thorns, and every day its night. Even the sun shows spots, and the skies are darkened with clouds and faults of some kind nestle in every bosom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Most of the grand truths of God have to be learned by trouble they must be burned into us with the hot iron of affliction, otherwise we shall not truly receive them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Lord's people have always been a waiting people.
